It's tough work but somebody has to do it. Wiz correspondent Greg Laughlin made the overnight trek to Tempe from San Diego in time for the 11 a.m. kickoff between Pacific 12 rivals Washington State and Arizona State.

The Sun Devils got off to a slow start but roared back for a 52-31 victory before 51,428 at Sun Devil Stadium.

Wiz correspendent Greg Laughlin started his weekend on Friday night in San Diego, where the hometown San Diego State Aztecs played host to the Air Force Falcons in a Mountain West Conference game.

The Aztecs won, 30-14, and became eligible for a bowl. San Diego State plays host to San Jose State on Saturday and a seventh victory would likely send the Aztecs to the Poinsettia Bowl, played in Qualcomm Stadium, the team's home field.
